Breast Cancer Quilt Block Finished

I have finally finished my second breast cancer block for Leslie's quilt. This block I used a lot more roses on it. I had also used a few more sequins. My only excuse is they just seemed to fit this block. In the photos the flower sequins look white, well they are not , they are pink!

I still don't have a camera that will work with my new computer sssoooo I am scanning all my eye candy over on the scanner. To that end the block has to be shown off in two pictures. Better than nothing at all.

I found in one of my button bags a MOP heart charm. When I saw that charm I thought I have just the spot for it! It fits perfectly.

My last two hearts that I put on the block I made out of silk roses. One pink and one white. I am going to have to use this idea on other blocks, as they turned out so well! Last I tried to do a rose spray ah-la Wendy. I don't think that it turned out like hers do, but it looks good on the block. Of course my rose garden that I had to show off yesterday!

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents,
beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home
decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
